waiting
Kim's belly & Liam, Canon Digital Rebel
Waiting for both my sister and my dear friend Kim to have their babies this week. Every time the phone rings I get a little butterfly in my stomach.
{I love that both Kim and Liam's bellies are showing in this photo}

Posted by: fern at May 29, 2005 07:05 PMYour photos are small poems that catch those transcendant moments of life that flutter by and fall past your fingers like a perfect snowfake. I find myself hodling my breathe when I see them.
Thank you so much for sharing these momentn and may both babies come at the right time and may God bless all with health and abundance.

Posted by: stef at May 26, 2005 03:17 PMThat's a great quote -- I'd never heard it before. And I'd like to point out, as an adoptive mother, the quote works no matter how your child comes into your life!
Posted by: Karen at May 26, 2005 12:30 PMHappy wishes for healthy babies for your sis and Kim! I am going to send that quote to my own mamma and sister! Absolutely beautiful sentiment and photo!
(Your belly will look that way soon, A!)

Posted by: jan at May 26, 2005 09:12 AMWhat BEAUTY! Its a great photo... wish I had hired you to shoot my enormous belly a few weeks ago! ;o) This image will be a treasure for this family forever more. (also, those are the hottest maternity pants EVER!)
I know that quote well... its so very true.
My littler One just turned one month yesterday, so that anticipatory feeling of waiting for arrival is fresh for me. Enjoy it! Its so exciting! Wishes to them all for beautiful births and healthy babies!

I have been thinking lately about how as an older sibling, you get to experience bits of parenthood. Weird concept, I know. I need to flush it out more. Anyway, I think the photograph captures some of it.
wow.
What a beautiful photo and the quote is exactly how it is. Thank you for your amazing ability to see and hear and your generosity in sharing what you find. You are such a blessing.
with gratitude,
Mikaelah
That is a great quote. Almost made me cry. The photo is lovely.
Posted by: Lu at May 26, 2005 06:37 AMWow. What a great photo and quote. Thanks for sharing!
Posted by: Heather at May 26, 2005 06:06 AMI love this photo, Andrea... the backdrop, the bellies and especially Liam's Mardi Gras beads. I'd have only recognised those because of my own sons' love of them.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful slices of your life with us. It's so appreciated.
Posted by: Annie at May 26, 2005 05:34 AMThanks for the quote. It's what I've felt every moment since my son was born (over 15 years ago) and I don't think it ever goes away.
